BELLOWSPACKAGE FOR DISTRIBUTING POWDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent: No. 366,942,01ated July 19, 1887.

(No'modeh) To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MAXMILLIAN ERNST, of Cleveland, in the county of Ouyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bellows-Packages for Distributing Powder; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in bellowspackages,designed more especially for distributing insectpowder; and it consists in certain features of construction, and in combination of parts hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view in perspective of my improved package, showing the manner of operating the same. Fig. 2 is a side elevation.

A represents the package, that preferably is substantially in the form of an ordinary payenvelope, although the manner of folding or the form of the package is not material. Ears or fingerpieces B are secured to either side of the package, but located preferably about at the center thereof. A small discharging-mt free, a, is had preferably at a corner of the package, as shown in Fig. 1. This orifice is conveniently made by clipping a corner of the package. The powder is placed in the package and sealed up air-tight, the orifice being preferably omitted until the package is wanted for use. A line, a a, may be printed or marked on the corner of the package to indicate where the latter should be clipped to make a suitable orifice. These packages may sides of the package, the powdered contents is blown out of the orifice a. (See Fig. 1.) A few simple directions for clipping the corner on the line a a and for operating the device are usually printed on the package.

These packages are inexpensive, and insect powder or other material may be sold as cheaply put up in these packages as where the goods are done up in the ordinary manner in the papers.

\Vhat I claim is- 1. A bellows-package for distributing pulverized material, the same having ears or linger-pieces on the sides thereof, and a discharging-orifice made at a corner of the package, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, with a pack age and finger-pieces, substantially as indicated, of a line marked at a corner of the package to indicate where the corner is to be cut off to form a suitable dischargingorifice, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I sign this specification, in the presence of two witnesses, this 30th day of April, 1887.

M AXMILLIAN ERNST.
